Much the same as Labour got the blame for the aftermath of the credit crunch, on the basis that they had not done more in previous years to prepare the country for a financial crash, the Tories can rightly be blamed for allowing NHS performance to be already slipping, year on year, so when the covid crisis hit it was in a far worse place than it might have been.
